Combine the chilies, onions, garlic, sauce, broth, salt and cumin in a large casserole dish and add the meat then let it set overnight to marinate. The next day preheat the oven to 300 and bake for 1-2 hours. I kind of "eyeball" it and cook it at a low temperature until the meat is soft, tender and falling apart and the sauce is thickened.

Serve over the tortillas (which are best lightly fried with non-stick spray in a skillet before serving) with the toppings of your choice--tomatoes, green onions, even lettuce would be good too. There are no rules when it comes to Tex-Mex.

And if you're looking for a good video rental--not an A+ thriller or anything, just a good solid B movie--try The Invisible. We watched it this weekend and I thought it was pretty good, the kind that kept you wondering where it was going until the end. A few cliches here and there but pretty clean and reasonably suspenseful. A good, solid B rental.

Did you say chillies, beef and cheddar? I know someone who will most definitely become a fan.Don't be mistaken: I'm drooling too, trying to resist the temptation...but I can't.Looks incredibly delicious!Thanks for this rich recipe Michelle!

I love carnitas! I am lazy, so I usually make them in the crock pot instead. And I got very interested in making my own yogurt but never found solid directions that didn't result in something I was scared to eat; so thanks for the link with that info.
